is designated by Dr Morton a Mississaga skull, and probably most, if not all, 

 of those numbered consecutively from 16 to 28 belong to the same tribe. Nos. 

 28 to 32 are from Abenakis g'-aves on the St. Maurice. As a whole, the exam- 

 ples thus grouped together present a sufficient number to furnish some adequate 

 approximation to the prevailing typical specialties of the Algonquin head.
